"So you're saying all these things are dyes that have been lost today?" Joan looked at the array of bottles and containers within the box, noting that apart from glass bottles, there were also silver ones, likely due to different preservation needs for different dyes.
"If that's the case, then the contents of this box are naturally worth much more than we might imagine. On one hand, because the box comes from the Palace of Versailles. On the other hand, because these dyes are no longer in use, their value—"
"No, not all of these dyes are lost or banned from use today. For instance, this red carmine is an exception," Joan clarified.
Upon hearing this, Leonard immediately interrupted her, retrieved a bottle containing red powder from the box, and began to describe one of the rare dyes still in use today, a red dye with a larger production than in the past.
